The stand-off is one of two reasons GhanaWeb gathered is delaying the progress of construction of the road which construction began in 2018 and is expected to take 18 months to complete. Compensations were however paid to the landlords for crops destroyed on their farms to pave way for the contractor to gather the laterite. Contract for the repair of the road was awarded to Banappi Company Limited in 2018 but not much progress has been made due to lack of funds and the stand-off. Though gutters and culverts have been laid, work has since stalled, leaving various portions of the road in terrible shape. This has become a big brother to the road users who are calling on the government to intervene immediately in order to fix the road.
